Text MUDs are the precursor to graphical MUDs. They have been around for
about 30-40 years now I think. They still exist with various fan-bases
all around the world. They are still a great project for cutting one's
teeth into programming since they cover so many different aspects of
programming. They are usually played over telnet.

telnet wocmud.org 4000
They are however, not nearly as popular as they once were due to the
pervasiveness of graphical muds such as the aforementioned WoW and
before it Ultima Online, EverQuest, etc.
